	InBrief 2B: EPA Impact Studies: SADC and the regional coherence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The SADC is currently in the process of establishing a free trade area, which, according to the SADC Trade Protocol adopted in 1996 and implemented since September 2000, should lead to the liberalisation of 85% of all intra-regional SADC trade by 2008.
		SADC countries have significantly backloaded their tariff reduction schedules, so that nearly all tariffs for competing products will not be liberalised until the latter part of the implementation period.
		The authors argue that, in its current state, the SADC is not capable of collectively negotiating an EPA, as it has neither the mandate, nor the capacity, nor the pre-requisite policy coordination and coherence, as is illustrated by the overlapping membership problem.

		The SADC region is characterised by weak economic structures of which the main four sectors include: services, manufacturing, agriculture and mining.
		SADC countries belong to three sub-regional Regional Trading Arrangements, namely: countries belonging to the Southern African Customs Union (SACU); countries belonging to an existing regional free trade area (COMESA); and those which are moving towards forming a regional free trade area (SADC).
		Thus, to answer the question what is the appropriate geographical configuration for SADC?, the study recommends an ACP wide framework agreement needed to maintain the ACP as a group and then regional EPAs to include the broader regional configurations beyond the current SADC regional economic integration framework.
